How to Join Telegram Group

You want to join a group on Telegram because you are interested in what they have to say and/or you think you could contribute something of value to the conversation. This is great! You just need to know how to make it happen, and that means looking for the best possible way to join a Telegram group easily. 

Open The Telegram App

To do so, you first must start by opening the Telegram app. You need to get this going so you can navigate around to where you need to go more easily. The app should look something like this when you first open it: 

Telegram app launching page.

You click on that and you will see that a search bar has appeared. This is important because it is where you are going to type in the next bit of information that will be vital to your quest. You will need to type in the words and/or phrases that are relevant to the type of group you are looking for.

In other words, if you are looking for a group about politics, you might search “politics”. It should look something like this: 

Telegram group finding groups or channels page.

Whichever term or terms you search will pull up a variety of groups that are relevant to that search term. You can select from the list which groups you would like to join. Perhaps you have some in mind already, or maybe you are interested in letting Telegram pull you towards the groups that you want to join.

Either way, you get to see the broadest possible list of groups available for the term that you have searched. If you want to get more specific with it, then you will need to search for additional terms that help narrow down the list of groups until you are able to key in on precisely what you want from your group search. 

Try To Find The Specific Terms That You Need

The truth of the matter is that you could spend a great deal of time searching for the groups that you need if you don’t have the specific terms down pat for what you need to find the groups that you want to join. You should try to get as many terms into your search field as you can to make it easier to narrow down which groups you truly want to be involved with. 

For example, if you were to search for entertainment groups, you might want to use terms like:

  • Great movies on Netflix
  • 80’s Rock N’ Roll fans
  • Best video games for Xbox

These types of things narrow your search somewhat and make it easier for you to find the specifics of what you are looking for. Entertainment is too broad of a term, but you can certainly get a lot more specific with your groups and find people who are talking about the things you really care about when you break down your terms a little more and make it easier to find what you really need. 

Remember, Telegram is a very large app with lots of different types of people on it. If you are too general, you are only going to find extremely large groups that may be a little overwhelming. Instead, try to break it down into smaller and more manageable parts.
